Why buy Maritime Health Insurance
The answer is easy. If you are a US citizen living abroad, traditional sources of US private health insurance may not meet your needs. Geographical exclusions and provider limitations common to these policies will restrict or even eliminate the coverage available to you while you are outside the US. At the same time, you may not be eligible for participation in the government-sponsored plans in the country where you reside. Or you may wish to have access to health care in other countries, including the US, in the event you become seriously ill. If you are a non-US citizen, you may need an international medical insurance policy to supplement the coverage available to you through your government sponsored plan, or to provide coverage while you are outside your home country. If you travel or reside worldwide, HCC Medical Insurance Services has designed the Maritime Citizen plan to meet your needs.
